BIt48BANJ GIRLS' GRAMMAR SCHOOL MA4AZitE.

November, 1920.

Ii. B. As the Christmas exams. are not far off, the thirty talented individuals of which III. B. is composed are all suffering from brain fag. This remarkable form occupies the room next to the mistresses' sitting room, and this ac- counts for the docility of the girls who gather there. No noise ever comes from our orom for our heads are always bent over our books -yes, truly! In the recent Inter-School Sports, Gwen Spurgin played an active part, while in the School Sports our form was well represented by Gwen, Polly, Connie, Marjorle, and others, some of whom came first and second. In spite of the practice of our tennis and basket-ball teams we accomplished nothing in those direc- tions. During this term our form had a debate. the subject being Prohibition. boretta Wool- ley was chosen as leader of the party in fav- our of continuance, while Marjorie Bulcock led those for prohibition. Both showed their views on the subject very clearly, while some of their followers made most amusing speeches. As Christmas is drawing near most of the girls are dancing around gleefully dt the thought of eight long weeks of vacation, which they are going to spend, some at the seaside, others in the country, 'hut all of them intend to enjoy themselves thoroughly. We will conclude our form notes by wish- ing every one a very happy Christmas and a most enjoyable holiday. 111. B. Beginners we, Form Low'r III. B., Our class room's near the sky; Miss Dath, our mistress, loved by all, Our ways must often try. Our captain brave is Molly, grave, Who always plays the game; In tennis, sport, and lessons, too, She bids us do the same." Choc'late and gold. our colours old, We hope will lead the way In scholarship and sports as well, When comes the testing day. Our motto spells and always tells That "Manners Makyth Man"; With such as this to be our guide, We shall be in the van. Dorothy L. Mco '1.

to the notorious IV. C. classroom, and there we iIII. A.-ites now reign in all our glory. The one thing which marred our happiness when we returned to school after Midwinter, was the fact that we had lost our old form captain, Annie Dahl, who evidently could stand the responsibility no longer, and so left us. The position has since been successfully filled by Barbara Dutney. We are now working very hard making an outfit for the Serbian children. We sincerely hope that it will be appreciated, as we are by no means professional dressmakers! This half, our classroom has not lacked flowers, as the day girls bring many flowers to beautify our room. Our classroom, by the way, helps a great deal in bracing us up for the coming lessons, by its refreshing cool- ness. In our School 'Sports we gained third place. Of course we had hoped for a better result, but we did our best and hope to do better next time. Our form was also well repre- sented in the number of "Grammars" who helped to win second place in the Secondary Sports in September. We have a very fair tennis team, which beat III. D. in the match for the cup, but was beaten by V. Form after a very hard fight. III. A. Lower III. A. consists of thirty-one girls who occupy one of the favourite classrooms of the school. So far 'we have had very little opportunity of displaying our ability (?) either in sport or in lessons, which reminds us exams. are not very far off. We have our tennis practice on Friday af- ternoons. Most of us have not played be- fore, so when we get together a lively game is not usually the result. It has been noticed by onlookers that we are extremely keen on chasing balls, more so than on the game it- self. However, we are progressing under the supervision of Miss Watson. We regret to say that we lost our match against Upper HI. B. Up to the present we have managed to keep our room supplied each day with flowers, though on one occasion we surpassed our- selves, when there appeared before our mis- tresses' eyes six pansies in a mug. However, we hope to do better in the fut- ture, and by working hard, keep up the repu- tation of our predecessors.
